Chimei Museum to Donggang Harbor - rent a car with driver
There are many ways to travel from an attraction to a harbor, but if you want to balance cost, time, and convenience without driving yourself, booking a private transfer is usually the best choice. Among the many car hire ads and ride-hailing groups, legality should always come first. If the ride is accepted directly by the driver rather than arranged through a licensed company or travel agency, you could run into problems if stopped by the police—and if the vehicle’s license plate does not begin with T or R, it is essentially illegal (commonly known as an unlicensed private car). Before booking, it’s also wise to check online reviews of the company or platform. While higher average ratings on Google Maps or Facebook suggest better service, the number of reviews is equally important, as platforms with thousands of reviews are far more reliable than those with only a few dozen. Tripool is a legally registered ride-hailing platform in Taiwan. For example, if you’re planning to travel from the main island to and need transfers between Chimei Museum and Donggang Harbor, you can instantly check fares online with full transparency. All transactions are processed securely via credit card or convenience store payment, ensuring clear, traceable records and avoiding the disputes that often come with cash payments.

Donggang Harbor private Transfer FAQs
- It is not recommended to take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Chimei Museum to Donggang Harbor. HSR is expensive, slow, involves transfer hassles, and has difficult taxi access. Although there can be up to 74 trains from Tainan to Zuoying a day, running from the first at 07:16 to the last at 23:48, once service ends for the night until early morning, alternative transportation is still required. Assuming you depart from Chimei Museum (Rende District, Tainan City) and head to the nearest Tainan HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$200 and take approximately 13 minutes. After arriving at the HSR station, the time to walk in, purchase tickets, and wait on the platform is about 15 minutes. Then, take a 11-13-minute (12 min on average) HSR ride from Tainan Station to Zuoying HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$140 per person, followed by a 10-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 59 minutes with a fare of NT$1,400, you will arrive at your destination at Donggang Harbor (Donggang Township, Pingtung County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 1 hour and 49 minutes. Assuming 2 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$940. However, in Tainan City, there are only just over 4,100 licensed taxis. The taxi density is 4.6% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area. In other words, hailing a taxi on the spot is 20 times more difficult than in a major city like Taipei. Even if you are lucky enough to hail a cab, a minority of taxi drivers in Tainan City may not use the meter, and might overcharge or take detours, especially with passengers who appear to be from out of town. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$880, and the journey takes 1 hour and 16 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost each person at least an extra NT$60 in fares but also waste an additional 33 minutes on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now! If you are traveling alone, you can also consider Tripool's carpooling service to save up to an additional 50% on transportation costs.
- Travelers usually do not choose to rent or drive to Donggang Harbor. After all, leaving a car parked for multiple days means that parking fees and rental costs become a substantial expense.
- If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Tainan City area, you can use apps to hail a cab from 55688 Taiwan Taxi, Uber, Line Go, Yoxi, etc.. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$1,515 and 1,800, which is not significantly different from Tripool. By comparison, Tripool offers a fixed, transparent fare that will not change due to traffic or detours. But if you cannot book in advance or prefer to hail a cab on the spot, be aware that in the whole Tainan City, there are only about 4,140 licensed taxis. The taxi density is just 4.6% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, meaning it is 20 times more difficult to hail a cab on the spot compared to Taipei or New Taipei. If you plan to make a return trip on the same or next day, be aware that taxis are even harder to find in Donggang Harbor (in the Pingtung County area), as Pingtung County has only about 368 taxis. It is recommended to plan ahead. Furthermore, some taxi drivers in Tainan City flat-out refuse to use the meter. Nearly 17% of them will try to negotiate the fare on the spot—often asking far above the standard rate. If you’re not familiar with local pricing, you are an easy target. To avoid getting ripped off, it is strongly advised to book online in advance. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Chimei Museum to Donggang Harbor in terms of both price and service quality.
- Tripool will send a receipt through the third-party system one week after the ride. If passengers need to claim reimbursement for travel expenses, there is a blank to fill with the company's title and tax ID. It's legal, and there is no extra 5% for the receipt. Once the receipt is received via email, it can be printed out for reimbursement or saved as a PDF.
- For regular long-distance travelers, they find Tripool's price may be too low to be good. On the contrary, Tripool has a high standard for selecting drivers and vehicles. Besides dropping drivers who are low rated, we also send mystery shoppers regularly to test drivers' service. Tripool's drivers are not allowed to smoke in the cars, and they have to wear masks all the time during the pandemic. We don't compromise our service for a low cost. Tripool can provide excellent service with 70~80% of the market price because of AI algorithms. We use these to dispatch vehicles to increase efficiency. Tripool can use fewer drivers to serve more travelers, especially in high seasons like Chinese New Year, Christmas, and summer vacation. Fewer drivers mean better quality control. The price on tripool's website and app are dynamic. Generally, the earlier a ride is booked, the lower price it is. Most of all, all booking are 100% refundable as long as the cancelation request is made one day before noon, no matter what the reason is. If you are preparing to go from Chimei Museum to Donggang Harbor, it's better to reserve it now to secure the best price.
- Tripool provides private day tours and charter services all around the island, including Donggang Harbor and Chimei Museum. Tourists are welcome to choose from point-to-point transportation service to 2~12 hours private trip service. The price is 100% transparent without any hidden fee. What you see on the website/app is the actual price. There is no need to email us or even make a phone call to verify. The full-day service price may not be lower than other providers. But if you only need a few hours or just a one-way transfer service, we can guarantee that our price is the most competitive in the market and tripool is the best choice. We offer 5-seater sedans, SUVs, and 9-seater vans. If your group is more than 9, we can arrange a bigger bus for you.
- If you are looking for a private car or a taxi from Chimei Museum to Donggang Harbor, input the pick-up and drop-off locations (or addresses) on our website. You will get an actual quote in just three seconds. Follow the yellow buttons, fill up your travel information, and choose the payment methods. Once you get the order ID, you will get an SMS and a confirmation email, and your order is all set. We will provide the driver's contact and the car information one day before the ride at 8 PM. We will fulfill your reservation 100%, guaranteeing that our driver will show up. It's recommended to finish the booking one day before noon. Tripool still accepts orders by 6 PM if you have an urgent request, and the latest order can come in by four hours in advance.
- In common, a 9-seater van can accommodate eight passengers with six 30" luggage. Suppose there are fewer passengers in the car. In that case, our driver can fold down the rear seats. There will be more space for oversized objects, such as surfboards, golf clubs, instruments, foldable bikes, desktop computers, etc. As long as these objects won't block the driver's sight and do no damage to the car body, passengers can put as many luggage and items as they like. But extra charge may be needed. You can find the details in the FAQ section. We suggest measuring the size, telling how many items to our online service first, and making the order afterward.
